In a world where luxury often risks losing itself in noise and excess, Pierluigi Pasquini offers a return to what feels true, intimate, and profoundly human. As the founder and artistic director of Pasquini Roma, he has shaped a vision anchored not in display, but in depth. His philosophy is simple yet powerful: real luxury is not meant to overwhelm the senses, but to awaken them.
“Luxury today is not ostentation, but beauty born from artisanal knowledge, from the rarity of the emotions that a jewel can convey,” Pasquini reflects. This idea has become the golden thread woven through every Pasquini Roma creation, establishing the brand as a guardian of authentic elegance in a world where authenticity is becoming a rarity.
For Pasquini, jewelry is more than ornament. It is memory in physical form, a silent storyteller resting on the skin. Every piece is a fragment of soul shaped by emotion, by history, and by Rome itself. “Storytelling is essential,” he says. “Every piece of jewelry is born from an emotion, a memory, from Rome. My collections are not just precious objects. They are symbols of experiences, journeys, passions.”
This poetic approach reveals the true heart of the brand. Pasquini Roma does not simply craft jewelry. It transforms matter into memory, tradition into today, brilliance into meaning. Rooted in the long heritage of Italian goldsmithing, the brand gives this ancient mastery a renewed voice; one that blends the grace of the past with the clean, refined aesthetics of modern design. As Pasquini puts it, “We represent the continuity of Italian savoir-faire, reinterpreted with a contemporary aesthetic. Tradition, art, and architecture blend with modern, clean lines.”
This philosophy has led Pasquini Roma to extraordinary heights. Today, it stands as the only jewelry brand in the world featured aboard the legendary Orient Express–VSOE, an emblem of timeless sophistication and mystery. It is a recognition that reflects more than commercial success. It honors a vision that has remained uncompromised, rooted deeply in craftsmanship and emotion.
The spirit of this philosophy comes alive in the stunning editorial produced for Hollywood Times Magazine. Shot at the serene Villa Castagnola, the story unfolds through the refined lens of photographer and creative director Marina Prinzi, who captures the essence of the brand’s emotional depth. Model Arianna Nicoloso, whose grace mirrors the very spirit of Pasquini Roma, becomes the living narrative of its philosophy. Her presence, elegant yet understated, reflects the timeless language Pasquini speaks through his creations. Follow her journey on Instagram @arinicoloso.
Every detail of this editorial aligns with the brand’s ethos. The artistry of Muah by Anastasia Kataurova, the meticulous refinement of Retouch Concept, and the ethereal ambiance of the location all converge to frame Pasquini Roma not just as a brand, but as a feeling.
It is a journey from past to present, from the artisan workshops of Rome to the gilded corridors of the Orient Express. It is luxury understood not as opulence, but as authenticity; not as spectacle, but as expression.
In the end, Pierluigi Pasquini’s vision is a declaration of intent. True luxury is never loud. It is quiet, intimate, and deeply felt. It is the emotion one wears, the story one carries, the journey one lives every day. Just like Rome, eternal and radiant, Pasquini Roma reminds the world that beauty is not meant to be shown. It is meant to be experienced.
